“…Aerogel, a type of porous solid material featuring extremely low density, low thermal conductivity, high porosity, and large specic surface area (SSA), has attracted increasing attention from both academia and industry, not only because of its exceptional properties but also due to numerous components that can be fabricated into the aerogel. [1][2][3][4] To name a few, inorganic oxides (such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , and TiO 2 ), [5][6][7][8][9][10] metals (such as Ag and Au), [11][12][13] carbon (carbon nanotube and graphene oxide), [14][15][16] polymers (such as polyimide, cyclodextrin, polyvinyl alcohol, and Kevlar), [17][18][19][20] and natural products (such as cellulose, wood, and chitosan) [21][22][23][24][25] have been used to synthesize aerogels with resistance to extremely low temperature and ultrahigh temperature. 26,27 Thus, aerogels nd wide applications in the eld of thermal insulation, 28,29 environment, 30,31 aerospace, 32 catalysts, 33,34 energy, 35 and biomedicine.…”
